My debate with a pot head

Does it matter?

 

so for your picture you decided to "google image search 'dumbass'"...?

sounds like u were STONEDDD!!!!
hahaha

 

All this for some dude smokin a hooter ?.. hell my VA doctor told me to go get my card, it helps with my PTSD

 

I was considering arguing with you, but your sig convinced me to do other wise

 

My friend's therapist told him to smoke weed. She said it will help him with his problems. His mom fired that "doctor".

 

It's a good thing too. If you had, I just would've gone and gotten high so that you double-lost.

 

I don't hate on pot smokers....hell I used to be a heavy smoker myself but to say because it's natural it won't hurt you is completely wrong. Weed has plenty of "natural" chemicals that can f#*% you up. No pun intended

 

Being an old hand as you are, please explain what exactly is so hurtful about it????

Again, I don't dislike users but I know how it has affected me and I'm not a hipocrate either.....just sayin

Marijuana affects more than the brain of the person using the drug. The heart and lungs are also affected. There are both short term and long term effects on the heart and lungs from smoking marijuana.
With marijuana in the blood stream, the ability of the blood to carry oxygen is restricted. This means that vital oxygen is not flowing to the heart properly. This can lead to elevated heart rate and higher blood pressure. Continued use of marijuana can ultimately increase the chances of heart attack.
On the lungs, there are a number of problems. Since marijuana is most often smoked, it is not surprising that many of the problems found in tobacco smokers are also found in marijuana smokers. The lungs serve as the entry point for the THC from the marijuana smoke into the blood.
In the short term, smoking marijuana can result in a feeling of stinging and burning in the mouth and in the throat. A marijuana user may develop a cough and other respiratory problems, such as increased production of phlegm. Long term effects of marijuana substance abuse can result in lung and throat cancer, as well as less severe respiratory illnesses and problems.

 

I have not smoked in years because I'm always on the look out for a "better" job. The one thing that I want to state is this, some of the best times that I had in my life was when I was stoned with my friends back in the early '80's. I myself do believe that pot used in moderation has to be better for you than drinking alcohol. I have never heard of someone dying from smoking pot but I have known people who have died from drinking. I do believe that in November it will become legal in California and there will be a mass exodus of people moving there.

 

^^Exodus...movement of Jah people. Bob Marley

 

I'm taking a Toxicology course(which if it's ever an option for you I highly recommend taking), day one was spent talking about how every plant in existence is loaded with at least 2,000 different xenobiotics- aka carcinogenic poisons. We don't die when we eat lettuce because as the plants developed those poisons we developed ways to break them down, aka co-evolution. That said when you burn a substance you are radically changing all those chemicals into new activated forms which may or may not be worse for you. To be able to say with any certainty what the implications of all those altered chemicals in pot smoke are would be many lifetimes of work.

Translation: Something that is natural is not therefore safe.

For that matter a properly engineered synthetic substance can be more safe then a naturally occurring one.

 

Pile of crap IMO and espoused by those with an alternative agenda but what do I know?

 

k2

 

get over yourself.

 

After reading that, I have only one question: where are the potato chips at?

 

He forgot to buy the chips, didn't he!!! Or was it that he forgot his wallet?
